I loved listening to this book because:- it picked up right where the last book left off and answered the cliffhanger ending- its another good, clean mystery- the narrator did her usual fantastic job- instead of reading the reciepes throughout the book they were saved for the end. This made it easier to listen to and follow. I hope the next books follow this trend.

If you enjoyed Joanne Flukes previous books and you want to know what happens with Norman - this book is a must and it does not dissapoint.

I really like this series. What was nice about this book is they didn't read the recipes throughout the book, they were read at the end, which kept the book flowing along. the books aren't intense, but they are just good and kind of sweet, with the murder mixed in!

Would you consider the audio edition of Cinnamon Roll Murder to be better than the print version?

I wouldn't know I rarely have time to "sit down" and read these days. I Love audio books they allow me to cook, clean, garden and still be engaging my mind :)

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

well.. kinda, I thought that it was a bit obvious some of the things going on but I was craving a jo fluke book and this one was great.

What about Suzanne Toren’s performance did you like?

I love her voices, she really keeps me engaged though the whole book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!

Any additional comments?

At first I loved that the recipes where at the end instead of at the end of each chapter but then I found I actually missed them. And I wanted to be munching whatever they where talking about while listening but I had to wait till the book was all the way over to get the recipes!

I recommend the whole series. I've become so attached to the characters that I miss them now that I've finished the series. The mysteries are good, easy listens. I always figure out who before the end. I mostly enjoyed the characters. After listening to several of these books I got the recipe book from the series. So so good!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cinnamon Roll Murder?

The ending I was hoping for.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I wouldn't say that this is a great story. But I can recommend this for you if you're looking for a comfortable, no-stress listen. The best thing about cozy mysteries is that you can just relax and enjoy some mindless reading or listening in this case.

Cinnamon Roll Murder is my first audiobook purchase among the Hannah Swensen series. I bought books for the rest of the series. As a long-time fan, I enjoyed this audiobook as well. No bloody scenes, no real tension between characters.

And the narrator does her best to bring the most out of this somewhat bland story.

The writing of this novel was terrible. It was filled with bakery characters loving every desert they ever met. The pages were mostly filled with filler going from on chocolate desert to another. As a running gag it got old after the second scone, and went downhill from there. Then there were the characters. I found I never cared about any of them.
